It's weird to think that a year ago we had barely heard of the xx. Now they're one of the indie-verse's biggest new acts, bolstered by an incredible debut LP and an endless string of moody, black-and-white shows. But even these sullen Brits can't play gigs forever-- according to a press release, the trio's upcoming fall tour of North America will be "the last chance to see the band play for quite a while." The excellent L.A. band Warpaint open during the fall trek-- dates below:

In other xx news, on June 26 in New York, Vice's Creators Project hosts something called "xx: A Sculpture of the Album", which is apparently a "3-D physical interpretation" of the band's self-titled record by director Saam Farahmand. More info here.
